<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 217404, member: 6641&quot;]Welcome and coins are great gifts for Dads.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The &quot;- letter&quot; refers to the mint where the coins were made. D=Denver, P=Philly, O=New Orleans, S=San Fransisco, W=West Point, CC=Carson City. Some of these mints are no longer used. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A set from is birth year is nice and usually well under your cost objective - with the exception of 1951 apparently&nbsp;&nbsp; :-( . You can also go on the mint web site and order new coins. I really like the American Silver Eagle Proofs. They are about $30 and you should receive yours within 2-3 weeks (normally). Pick something you like and think he will like. If there is a show in your area sometime soon that may be a better option as you can see what you are going to buy before you give someone your money. Also do not be afraid to go to local dealers and ask questions. Don&#039;t be afraid to post the ebay listing here for opinions if this is the way you are going. Many ebay listings are not so good - so please be careful. This group is good about giving advice on auctions/sellers.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good Luck!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Darryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
